Yes, Qrac's right foot is a little more narrow. <br /><br />I think Kwint was always hot shod, his shoes were never standard, and cost more especially in his last year of work.

The only downside of it is that it costs me a lot more to have her shod because the shoer has to hot shoe that foot and it takes quite a while to shape a new shoe just right because the foot is not round but narrow.Jami Davenporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259390150273030284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-36638862016765579162011-03-11T06:50:15.906-08:002011-03-11T06:50:15.906-08:00Alison: his barn name will be Qrac, pronounced Cra...Alison: his barn name will be Qrac, pronounced Crack.

Qrac is very...supple! It is a totally different sensation than on a Warmblood, although I'm sure he'll become more stable with work. Just riding a straight line in walk took intense concentration on my part as he tends to slalom all over the place! He's incredibly sensitive to the slightest shift of my weight in the saddle. It's going to be challenging, and interesting, and I'm looking forward to him coming here.Francesca Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201599087106798500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-46986409371544313682011-03-11T06:25:24.029-08:002011-03-11T06:25:24.029-08:00And what will his barn name be?

The good news came in last night while I was watching American Idol (we get it one day later here) - I think the guy with the beard who doesn't think he's sexy but wants people to think he's sexy is brilliant, by the way. Anyway, the vet in Lyon says the horse has great x-rays, and the concerns about his right front foot are no big deal. He's just been badly shod for a while and needs a good farrier. And I have a very good farrier. So finally I can get excited, although as I said, there's still the blood test results to come in, but I'm not worried about them. I'll be flabbergasted if there's a problem with those.<br /><br />And I can finally tell you what he's called, as I didn't want to reveal his name until I was a little more certain it would all work out. His name is Qrac de la Font.<br /><br />I'm meeting my trainer for a celebratory lunch today. I think we may even have a glass of champagne!Francesca Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201599087106798500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-45623410003533517072011-03-10T11:18:27.706-08:002011-03-10T11:18:27.706-08:00Ooh, good luck, Francesa.
